Julius Caesar was never an emperor of Rome. He was basically a Roman politician who rose through the elected offices to counsul. After his counsulship he was given the supreme military command in Gaul, where he proved his generalship. His political enemies in Rome were out to destroy him and rather than lose everything he started a civil war in which he was victorious. He was made dictator, the highest office the senate could confer on a man, and when the senate extended his Dictatorship for life, he was assassinated. Never in all his extraordinary career was he an emperor.
